Hispanic is really a person from Spain and using that on a clearly Native person is just a form of oppressing them and erasing their true identity. There are black Spanish speaking people, but they should NOT be called as Latinos. Just do some research on this before using the Latina term on your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-57148843459957700992015-01-01T21:21:13.436-06:002015-01-01T21:21:13.436-06:00I found your blog while commenting on plain(s) fem...I found your blog while commenting on plain(s) feminist old blog and she linked to you in her sidebar.

I usually stay away from BuzzFeed, but your pointer led me to a powerful story of a young man who is being blamed for other people&#39;s risky behavior. These man insisted on having sex without a condom, then chose to blame this young man for their choices. He did not hold a gun to their head and force them to have sex with him. He appears to be a young man who was caught in a confluence of exploitation and privilege. So why is he the only one at fault?Michelle Schilzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01912711288096288477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-89437001843645690052014-08-08T11:20:18.410-05:002014-08-08T11:20:18.410-05:00This kid is FAR more responsible and motivated tha...This kid is FAR more responsible and motivated than I was at hir age.

As a disabled person myself, I add more applause.<br /><br />My sister Lisa had severe cerebral palsy. She could not see, walk or talk in a conventional manner (she was much like a baby, and those who knew her well knew the sounds for hungry, bored, dirty diaper and so on). She was a happy, beautiful, wonderful person. Many people thought she had no quality of life. These people were fools.<br /><br />She died in 2010. I still miss that happy sound she would make when she heard my voice.

They will not come to live here if they need assistance. My father has taken out &quot;long term care&quot; insurance that covers the cost of assisted living and nursing homes. Our house is perfect for taking in someone, with a big separate studio apartment area and all that. But no...they won&#39;t hear of it. I worked in a nursing home, and seeing people die alone, with no loved one holding their hand, was the saddest thing I&#39;d ever seen. People like them don&#39;t understand that being present at someone&#39;s passing on is a gift, both to the person dying and the family left behind. I want to die with family around, singing and holding my hand.Rootietoothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-269654521234259492013-09-30T22:12:16.423-05:002013-09-30T22:12:16.423-05:00There was this old hagiography that included Mary ...There was this old hagiography that included Mary Of Egypt called &quot;Whores of the Desert&quot;--in the Catholic book store where I once worked, the book got all kinds of attention (from men), and we joked about how it got yanked out of alphabetical order nearly every day. THAT CATCHY TITLE! The publisher (maybe Ignatius press?) finally changed the title totally ... and I now can find no mention of it online anywhere.<br /><br />One of those arcane historical things!<br /> PS: I love Mary of Egypt and I loved the &quot;Whores of the Desert&quot; worldly women (not necessarily whores, but many worldly women got classed as &quot;whores&quot; in those days of course) who converted and went out to the Desert to become hermits and ascetics, as the Desert Fathers did. :)DaisyDeadheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17993200276152025235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-73362688776542871082013-09-28T17:42:23.257-05:002013-09-28T17:42:23.257-05:00I know the feeling about pills for the rest of you...I know the feeling about pills for the rest of your life.

War is by nature barbaric and I feel uncomfortable thanking someone for quite possibly killing another human being who is most likely not innately evil but also being used by their government to promote an agenda. Not like thanking nurses, doctors, firefighters, EMTs and police and others who are about saving lives, not extinguishing them.

Don&#39;t you recognize their inherent and obvious superiority as White Womyn of Education? Why aren&#39;t you grateful? <br />As for Mr. Schwyzer, he put himself out there and made the mistake of making a mistake (ok, many mistakes). He will not ever be forgiven, as Feminists are not capable of forgiveness. The man needs to find a good church, one that preaches the gospel of Christ, you know, the one about forgiveness and redemption, and leave the feminist thing far behind. That is a world he ill never be able to return to, unless he wants to be eaten alive.<br />Rootietoothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-50578446324046604352013-08-04T13:27:49.127-05:002013-08-04T13:27:49.127-05:00That comment threat got out of control fast...and ...That comment threat got out of control fast...and I&#39;m about to put somebody on blast for the &#39;Blacks are more homophobic&#39; lieMonica Robertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14152589.post-69928401942815583352013-06-16T19:29:29.226-05:002013-06-16T19:29:29.226-05:00Most families in Louisiana are mixed.

Girls are already policed for their expression so much, and I&#39;ve seen how people have used the popularity of being against Girls Who Are Not Like Other Girls as an excuse for calling them &#39;special snowflakes&#39; and for being plain misogynistic. Being &#39;different&#39; is hard. Even if in the grand scheme of things you&#39;re not that different! And if a girl wants to say &#39;I&#39;m different and I&#39;m proud of it&#39; because it&#39;s better than hating herself for not being like the Other Girls we shouldn&#39;t, like, throw peanuts at her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
